Deleting a Discord server is a straightforward process that permanently removes the server and all its contents. This action cannot be undone, so ensure you are certain before proceeding.
Step-by-Step Guide to Deleting a Discord Server
To delete a Discord server, especially when using the mobile application, follow these steps carefully. The process is designed to prevent accidental deletion, requiring you to confirm your decision.
- Select the Server: Open the Discord app and, from the menu on the left side of your screen, select the Discord server you intend to delete.
- Access Server Options: Once the server is open, tap the three dots (often representing "More Options" or "Kebab Menu") that are typically located next to the server name at the top of the screen.
- Navigate to Settings: From the pop-up menu that appears, go to the "Settings" item. This will open the server's configuration options.
- Locate Server Settings Menu: Within the "Server Settings" section, you'll find another set of options. Look for and tap on the three dots (or a similar icon, sometimes a downward arrow) next to the heading "Server settings" itself. This usually leads to a global actions menu for the server.
- Confirm Deletion: Finally, from the options presented, select "Delete server". You will likely be prompted to confirm this action, often by typing the server name or a confirmation code, to prevent accidental deletion.
Here's a quick summary of the steps:
